First announced in April, the project has gone from concept to completion in just under four weeks.

"Personally, I'm amazed at how fast everything came together given the circumstances," said the project's visionary and Keep it Metal Promotions president, Billy Loney. "Everyone was so eager to be a part of this...their involvement and talent has been the cornerstone of this whole thing."

In an effort to show gratitude to all those on the front lines who have given their time and sacrificed their health unselfishly during this crisis, the free song hopes to entice listeners to donate to current pandemic relief efforts. Online donations are being collected at point of download, using the link above, in support of The Center for Disaster Philanthropy's (CDP) Global Recovery Fund https://disasterphilanthropy.org/.

"This was without a doubt a group effort," said Loney. "I am so grateful for everyone's support."

"I'm stoked to be apart if it," said Chris Natalini, of the veteran New Jersey Thrash band, Blood Feast, who lends his voice to the song. "It was an honor to be asked...I love the song,"

HEAR N' NOW has also released a lyric video in support of the song and talks for a follow up track to be produced are now being considered.

See “No Road to Ruin” lyric video here:

"It would be great to do another song," said Corners of Sanctuary guitarist and Hear 'n Now producer Mick Michaels. "We are hoping this track connects with people and does what it was intended do...but if another song is in the cards, definitely count me in!"
